Assuming your output has a header line,

Code:
awk '(NR>1){print $1;exit}' yourfilename

thx a lot for prompt help.

just one more ques what is "NR" here.

NR = Number of Records ie. the current line number.

Hello scriptor,

just one more solution. Let us say your input file is
Code:
 test1_test

.


Command is as follows.
Code:
awk 'NR==1 {next} {print$1}' test1_test

Output will be as follows.

Code:
A924A5FC
A924A5FC
A924A5FC
A924A5FC
A924A5FC
$


Thanks,
R. Singh
